           Summary: \0 character is added to REG_MULTI_SZ registry values
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com

Wine treats such values as strings, bug Windows processes them as binary values.

Following values list is imported and then exported with Windows regedit
correctly on Windows:
"Empty Value0"=hex(7):
"Empty Value1"=hex(7):00
"Empty Value2"=hex(7):01

On Wine the same Windows regedit exports this as:

"Empty Value0"=hex(7):00
"Empty Value1"=hex(7):00
"Empty Value2"=hex(7):01,00

Probably the problem exists because Wine treats this format as strings which
must have 0 character delimiter. Windows, probably processes this format as any
other binary format (according to the test and to the fact that Windows regedit
shows values of this type as binary).
